Hosted by Ford Performance and Hoonigans, the first ever ST MEETUP was held in Downtown LA with hundreds in attendance.

The weather was LA perfect and enthusiasts had their car's spotless for the Tony Harmer photo studio. The event was action packed with RC cars, video games, food trucks, custom T Shirt studio, and just people generally hanging out. Ken Block and Vaughn Gittin JR were also out signing autographs and checking out the rides.

mountune USA were invited to display our RS and the crowd pleasing 250bhp 1968 mountune powered Escort. It was a great event promoting everything awesome about the ST line and we are looking forward to the next Ford Performance ST Meetup... hopefully sooner than later.

Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton recently had the opportunity to check out the home-grown mountune powered BAC Mono at the University of Manchester. The latest Mono was being showcased at the university's National Graphene Institute and is the first car in the world to use graphene in its production process, featuring the lightweight material in the rear wheel arches. BAC claims that the graphene it uses is significantly lighter and stronger than carbon fiber and has 200 times the strength of steel.

While many carmakers source components from countries where labour is cheap, 95 per cent of the Mono's parts come from suppliers in the United Kingdom, including their 2.5L Duratec engine built by the Racing Team at mountune HQ in Essex, UK, which is fitted as standard to the BAC Mono.

Prince William seemed more than impressed with the model, even slipping into the narrow cockpit for a photo opportunity. According to BAC co-founder and director of product development Neill Briggs, “It was truly an honour to meet Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and a particular privilege to seat Prince William inside the Mono. We are incredibly proud to be British, and to meet members of the Royal Family was a surreal experience that just shows how far this company has come.”

They say good things come in three’s and the latest review by Evo Magazine is no exception to that rule.

After receiving a noteworthy 5 stars for both our mk2 Focus RS MR375 kit, and more recently our mk7 Fiesta ST MP215, we’ve scored a hat-trick with a third impressive 5* review for our latest Mk7 Fiesta ST MR230 offering in the latest issue of the magazine.

After thrashing the car around various British B roads, the test team at Evo were blown away with the contrast between the standard 1.6-litre Ford favourite and the mountune version, and were in awe of both the strength and relentlessness of the upgraded engine.

The MR230 power upgrade kit, which was released in 2015, comprises of a selection of mountune performance parts including a custom aluminium high-flow airbox, high–flow panel air filter, charge pipe, intercooler and 3” downpipe with a 200 cell sports catalyst with 2.5” cat-back exhaust system.

EVO says:"you can march along on a wave of torque when buzzing Caymans and M3s can wait another day."

"The MR230 works across all levels, retaining the usability of the standard car."

"the Fiesta will fly along at a sports car-baiting pace."

The full MR230 upgrade kit is priced from £2295 inc. VAT, or if you already have the MP215 kit, from £1995 inc. VAT as an upgrade. Also available as an mTune only upgrade for those with all required hardware already. Available via www.mountunestore.com, or via any EU-based mountune Ford Pro-Dealer.
